Question: Issue Books: Which books have you found to be very rewarding when it comes to tackling tougher issues?
The book that popped out in my mind when I read this question was Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. It deals around the issue of rape which is definitely a tough to write about especially in a Young Adult book. This was a required reading for me in my freshman year of high school. I loved reading it and even read it again a few years later. I think the author did a remarkable job with the book and it is a book at least every female young adult should read. This is a fantastic read with a difficult topic to talk about.
